#242612 The Career Of Chad Fontaine

After just 23 games at the helm of West Ham United the board have made the decision to sack me with the club sitting bottom of the Barclays Premier League. I have to admit I feel as if the decision to sack me was a rash one and a little unfair considering the mess I inherited from Sam Allardyce. There was fitness issues and injuries galore for me to deal with upon my arrival, but I felt we'd addressed that and had begun to gather some momentum in recent performances.

We showed real character to hold Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at home as I picked up my first point in the league and we fought back from 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge to deny Chelsea victory. My finest hour for the club was either beating Manchester City 4-1 after trailing 1-0 or leading the club to a very unexpected Capital One Cup final at Wembley.

Rojo did very well again tonight, glad for him.

Good, professional performance overall from us.


After we got the opening goal we did very well.

EDIT: Also delighted to see Wilson get another goal.

Are you overly surprised though? Bayern were playing with ten men for the majority of the game and Schalke are a good team.


A little bit surprised tbh considering they conceded so quick after going ahead.

Also thought they'd respond better after the mauling Wolfsburg gave them at the weekend.

Stuck the remaining $20 on a five fold accumulator.

Bayern Munich, Sheffield United to qualify, Manchester United, Roma to qualify and PSG to qualify.

Returns $80.01 if it happens.

My heart was pretty much set on joining Bordeaux and trying to turn their fortunes around until two late interviews turned into offers from relegation threatened Barclays Premier League clubs. In what could be a mistake I've turned both the Middlesbrough and Bordeaux jobs down and my immediate future either belongs at Sunderland or West Ham United.

Who wears shinpads at 5-a-side? Only fags and people who are there to break legs.


You left out extremely shit players who want to feel professional. Some lad was wearing them at indoor on Sunday with ankle socks, couldn't help but laugh at him, he was like Bambi on ice wearing rollerblades.

Very happy with that.


Same here.

Very strong side and should ideally have the game done and dusted by the hour mark, no disrespect to Cambridge intended.

Thought the phone interview went alright, recruiter straight back on to me: "They want you in for an interview with Head of Business Development on Thursday afternoon. Feedback so far has been very very positive"

So it's the 12th of November and I had two recent job interviews. I've got to admit I didn't expect either side to offer me a job, but maybe I impressed during the interview process or they're just really that desperate. I'll explain both club situations and both offers. I'm going to delay my decision for two weeks in regards to both offers to just decide what I want to do.

Bordeaux
So Bordeaux who won Ligue 1 as recently as 2009 currently find themselves bottom in Frances elite club competition. I was offered a three year deal worth £7,750 a week. The expectation is simple, the board wanted me to avoid relegation. There would be no transfer budget available in January, although the wage budget would stand at £325,000 a week.


Middlesbrough
Expectations at Middlesbrough are a little different. The board expect me to reach the play-offs if I take the reigns at the club who currently sit 13th in one of the most physically demanding leagues in football. Come the January transfer window I'd have a tidy sum of £825,000 to spend, but in saying that the wage budget of £250,000 is completely utilised currently.

Man U fans we've just signed Marnick Vermijl, what have we got?


I wouldn't have a clue. He's made an appearance or two in the Capital One Cup iirc, but haven't seen a lot of the lad. I know he's Belgian and that's about it. One of the lads from the UK might be able to shed some more light if they've watched some reserve games.

So above is the basic information for Chad Fontaine. He's got a professional football background and has acquired a Continental B Licence or a UEFA B Licence as it's also known. I've kept my coaching and mental attributes quite balanced to begin with, just so I'm not lacking in one particular area whilst looking for employment opportunities.

Fontaine will be looking for employment in Australia, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland and Spain. The hope is to secure a job that will allow the young manager a chance to gain valuable experience in the dugout without any major interference from the clubs board and given his lack of experience that may mean waiting until the festive period when clubs start to sack under performing managers and turn to a new manager to come rescue their season.

Yeah if he was 32 it'd mean he was 16-17 playing for Maccabi Haifa.

Almost certain it was Yakubu that stretched out in bed some morning and tore his cruciate.

Aye, can't see the boss man being too happy about it, but it's purely a "career" decision in that I'd be doing what I've always wanted to do (something I was promised in my interview for current place, but never happened), not like I'm just moving for money.

Aye, Out by UCD. Bus straight from Drumcondra to it so it's a lot handier than I thought given that UCD is a nightmare to get to. Hopefully all goes well, they want interviews done and people chosen by the end of the week so I shouldn't be waiting around for long for an answer


Well the boss man should have done what was promised and you wouldn't be at this crossroad right now. Ah you'll be grand sure UCD is next to your gaff according to the Cork bird I met in D2. Hopefully you'll get it pal

At times I do feel really sorry for Newcastle United fans.

Mike Ashley has absolutely no motivation to invest to help the club progress beyond Premier League survival.

$10 free bet on Messi to score anytime against Villarreal.


Have turned that $10 into $34.37 since yesterday after Brisbane Roar beat Wellington Phoenix 3-2.

Slapped $14.37 on Valencia to beat Malaga tonight.

Going to keep the other $20 for four $5 accumulators for the next month I think.

Phone interview tomorrow for a position that actually uses the technologies I want to use and is extremely relevant to my interests.

Bit awkward though given that I've only been in my current job for a year


Fuck it lad a year is plenty of time to have stayed in a job and sure you've got to put yourself first tbf.

Job keep you in Dublin? Good luck

Yeah, I am playing 5-a-side. - Just frustrating trying to play against teams that are already at fitness.


Also bought shinpads. Reaction seems to be people calling me gay.


Rather have my shins not all kinds of fucked up and be called gay.
